About the Author

Anna Grace justifies her espresso addiction by writing fun, modern romance novels in the early morning hours. Once the sun's up you can find her teaching high school history, or outside with her adventure-loving husband. Anna is a mediocre rock climber, mom of two fun kids, and snack enthusiast. Winner of the National Excellence in Romantic Fiction, Book Buyer's Best, and Beverly Awards, Anna lives rurally in Oregon, and travels to big cities whenever she gets the chance.

Book Review 

First in The Teacher Project series, which promises to be a fun read. At least this first installment was. Anyone who has been a teacher or been around one or more of them will empathize with what these five teachers confront when hired to re-open a rural school that's been closed for three years of online existence only. The hilarity of their confrontations with the distrustful townspeople is laugh out loud funny.

Lead teacher is Willa Marshall who gets her first shock when the boy she crushed on in high school turns out to be the most prominent rancher in the area and the one who has been adamant about opening the school so that his daughter could succeed. Colter Wayne is thrilled to see Willa again; not exactly her reaction to him! But will time and her desire to bring the school to life for the 30 students using it change her view of Colter? And will the townspeople who distrust the teachers sufficiently to shut down the school?

A great series start to what I'm really looking forward to reading as each new installment comes out.
